Tsim Sha Tsui is located at the southern tip of Kowloon Peninsula, separated
from the Hong Kong Island by the Victoria
Harbor. Hence there are many harbor
front hotels facing the beautiful, world-renowned Hong
Kong Island skyline. Since the harbor is where fireworks are
launched from during city-wide celebrations, literally myriads
of people gather at the Tsim
Sha Tsui waterfront at such events (did
you know that a myriad means 10,000?).

DIRECTIONS

Tsim Sha Tsui, or more easily referred to as TST by the expat
community in Hong Kong, is easily reached by MTR subway.
Just get off at Tsim Sha Tsui station.

You can also
get there by Star
Ferry from Central
or Wan Chai
district on Hong Kong Island, and by bus
(mainly from other parts of Kowloon).

- BEWARE -

On nights when there're fireworks over the Victoria
Harbor (e.g. New Year's Eve, July 1st, and maybe also the
second evening of Chinese
New Year), many streets near the harbor in Tsim Sha Tsui are
closed off to motorized traffic in order to accommodate the tens
of thousands of people, so you may not be able to get to your
hotel in a vehicle. Even if you can, the streets may be so congested
that traffic is at a standstill and you might as well walk.
